An Enchanting Getaway at the Moulin de Tilly
Let yourself be enchanted by a place outside of time.
Tucked away from the charming village of Saint-Plaisir, the exclusive "La Bulle" guest room and its bathroom are located on the second floor of the mill. It awaits you in a historic watermill whose history dates back to 1784. A true haven of peace, the mill offers absolute serenity, between the murmur of the water and the warmth of the private wood.
In the summer, you can even let yourself be lulled by the sway of our hammocks and enjoy the swing set up under the trees.
🌿 Your Oases of Serenity
On the second floor, beneath the centuries-old beams, discover a 32 m² space entirely dedicated to your well-being. Depending on the season, the ambiance transforms:
“The Terracotta Bubble” in winter: A warm and protective terracotta atmosphere.
“The O Bubble” in summer: A breath of light and gentle freshness.
From your window, the view is ever-changing: the enchanting “Le Cottignon” stream reveals its picturesque waterfall under the watchful eye of the peaceful woods. (except during droughts)
🛌 Tailored Comfort
Le Moulin welcomes your dreams, whether you’re travelling alone, as a couple, or with your family (up to 5 people):
A double bed (140 cm) with a new mattress for a deep, restful sleep.
A versatile space: A 2-seater futon sofa and a single futon for cosying up in complete freedom.
Total privacy: The second floor is all yours, including your private bathroom and toilet.
